Snobbery
dailymeh:
I hate it when people imply or infer that the chemical reactions on my tongue have some direct correlation to my level of maturity, as if I could simply will myself to enjoy (or even to swallow without gagging) the many things I can’t stand.
[…] You find these types everywhere. Classical music snobs. Actually, [any musical genre] snobs, although few genre fandoms — yes,...

“now before you do anything, kid, you’re going to have to spend a decade or so of your life learning and vigorously repeating various rules that someone hundreds of years ago decided were super important. after you have been brainwashed for ten years, then and only then can you legitimately begin producing your own work, which paradoxically will be completely diluted by all the...

Eight-year olds may be the youngest scientists ever to have their work published in a peer-reviewed journal:
